  1. Elementary Mechanics of Fluids CE 319 F Daene McKinney Introduction & Fluid Properties

  2. Fluid Mechanics • Definition • The study of liquids and gasses at rest (statics) and in motion (dynamics) • Engineering applications • Blood in capillaries • Oil in pipelines • Groundwater movement • Runoff in parking lots • Pumps, filters, rivers, etc.

  3. Shear Stress t Fluid Solid States of Matter • Fluids (gasses and liquids) and solids • What’s the difference? • Fluid particles are free to move among themselves and give way (flow) under the slightest tangential (shear) force

  4. Liquids: Close packed, strong cohesive forces, retains volume, has free surface Expands Gas Free Surface Liquid Classes of Fluids • Liquids and gasses – What’s the difference? • Gasses: Widely spaced, weak cohesive forces, free to expand

  5. Common Fluids • Liquids: • water, oil, mercury, gasoline, alcohol • Gasses: • air, helium, hydrogen, steam • Borderline: • jelly, asphalt, lead, toothpaste, paint, pitch

  6. Primary Dimensions & Units • Dimension: Generalization of “unit” telling us what kind of units are involved in a quantitative statement • Mass [M], length [L], time [T], temperature [q] • Unit: Particular dimension • kg, m, s, oK (Systeme International) • slug, ft, s, oR (British Gravitational) • lbm, ft, s, oR (something else)

  7. What’s a SLUG?! • UC Santa Cruz Mascot • Unit of mass in the BG system (~ 14.59 kg, ~32.17 lbm) • 1 lbf will accelerate a slug 1ft/s2 • 32.17 lb/14.59 kg = 2.2 lbm/kg

  8. Secondary Units • Force N = kg-m/s2 (Newton) lbf = slug-ft/s2 (pound force) = 32.2 lbm-ft/s2 • Work (Force through a distance) J = N-m (Joule) ft-lbf (foot pound) • Energy (Work per time) W = J/s (Watt) ft-lbf/s (foot pound per sec) hp 550 ft-lb/s (horsepower)

  9. r MoluecularVariations SpatialVariations r* = 1200 dV* dV Fluid as a Continuum • Fluids are aggregates of molecules • Widely spaced: gasses • Closely spaced: liquids • Intermolecular distance is large compared to molecular diameter • Molecules move freely • Air at STP: dV*=10-9 mm3 and contains 3x107 molecules • Continuum hypothesis

  10. Fluid Properties • Density: Mass per unit volume • How large is the volume? • Too small: # molecules changes continuously • Large: # molecules remains almost constant • At these scales, fluid properties (e.g., density) can be thought of as varying continuously in space.

  11. Density • Mass per unit volume (e.g., @ 20 oC, 1 atm) • Water rwater = 1000 kg/m3 • Mercury rHg = 13,500 kg/m3 • Air rair = 1.22 kg/m3 • Densities of gasses increase with pressure • Densities of liquids are nearly constant (incompressible) for constant temperature • Specific volume = 1/density

  12. Specific Weight • Weight per unit volume (e.g., @ 20 oC, 1 atm) gwater = (998 kg/m3)(9.807 m2/s) = 9790 N/m3 [= 62.4 lbf/ft3] gair = (1.205 kg/m3)(9.807 m2/s) = 11.8 N/m3 [= 0.0752 lbf/ft3]

  13. Specific Gravity • Ratio of fluid density to density at STP (e.g., @ 20 oC, 1 atm) • Water SGwater = 1 • Mercury SGHg = 13.6 • Air SGair = 1
